Hamas sets terms for ceasefire: End of IDF operations, release of prisoners
Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades demand Israel stopped aggression in the West Bank, Jerusalem and Gaza and the release of Shalit deal prisoners recaptured during Operation Brother's Keeper.
Hamas' military wing issued a statement detailing its conditions for a ceasefire on Tuesday night.
In a video filmed at a secret location, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades set four conditions:
- The end of Israeli aggression in the West Bank and Jerusalem.
- The halt of fire on Gaza and the return to the understanding reached after the 2012 Operation Pillar of Defense.
- The release of all Shalit deal prisoners who were arrested again during Operation Brother's Keeper.
- Israel must stop sabotaging the intra-Palestinian reconciliation.
